STILL A QUESTION.
What an ex-Contractor Says About the
Cheyenne & Northern.

One Of the gentlemen who lately had a
grading contract en- the Cheyenne &
Northern, professed the other day to have
definite and reliable" information in re-
gard to the plans and purposes OF the
Cheyenne & Northern railroad, and stated
that he knew for a certainty that its au-
thorities had decided to build 100 miles
Of road during the coming season. He
professed to know also the route-in a
general sense-which is to be taken, and
says that it is in a northwesterly direction
from Its present terminus.
1t cannot be stated with certainty
whether the ex contractor has interests in
Douglas or not, but it is pretty certain
that he has, for he asserted most positively
that the road was to run through that
place, with a subsidy, if one could be OBJ
tanned, but if necessary. without money
and without price" 1t is probable. how
ever, that the gentleman was in part talk
ing to hear himself talk. for there is an
awful amount of uncertainty at this time
as to what the Cheyenne & Northern
management will do.

The wife Of Justice Field lately told this
little story about Edwin NJ. Stanton, the
war secretary: In the first days of the
war Mrs. Field gave n dinner party and
the secretary was one Of the guests. The
ladies Mt the table, one by one, began to
ask favors OF the head of the then most
powerful department OF the government.
Mr.. Stanton listened, but made no reply
and encouraged none. Finally he turned
to the hostess n said, MRS. Field, have
you nothing to ask for2" She had not
spoken and had not thought of anything
she desired at his hands. But she an
swered, when l nave a favor to ask it
will be for a brave and deserving officer. I"
The next morning an orderly called at
Justice Fields house with this message
from the secretary: "Wil Mrs. Field
kindly name the officer to whom she re-
ferred last EVENING"" After searching her
memory she thought of q young lieuten-
ant buried at u post where neither glory
nor danger was within reach. The orderly
went back with the note of thanks and
the young mans name. That lieutenant

The wes,ern settlers Chosen specific

With every advance of emigration into
the far West a new demand is created for
Hostetter's Bitters. Newly peopled re-
gions are frequently less salubrious than
older settled localities on account of the
miasma which rises from recently cleared
land, particularly along the banks of
rivers that are subject to freshets. The
agricultural or mining emigrant soon
learns, when he does not already know,
that the Bitters afford the only sure pro-
lection against malaria and those dis
orders OF the stomach, liver and bowels
to which climatic changes, exposure and
unaccustomed or unhealthy water or diet
subject him. Consequently he places an
estimate upon the great household speci-
fc and preventative men with
its intrinsic merits and is careful to keep
on hand a restorative and promoter of
health so implicitly to be relied upon in
time of need.

Type Writing.

Pretty near everything in this day and
age of the world is either so greatly over
done as to be of no account, or else it is
not done at all. In regard to the matter
of type writing in Cheyenne, it would be
a difficult matter to decide whether some
of it is overdone or not done at all. 1t is
not claimed here that this is the case with
all type writing in Cheyenne or even a
majority of it, yet it ID a notorious and
self-evident fact that a considerable por-
ton of the work done nowadays on type
writers in this city is such hat it cannot
by any possibility be read as well and as
easily as plain ordinary handwriting.
